A Wedding Card for the TLC361

The TLC361 challenge today was to create a Belleek Pottery inspired card. I know I'll be needing a wedding card in a couple weeks, so this technique looked perfect for what I had in mind. I used a CB ef (I think it's called Victorian) and brayered the top with Ranger antique linen ink, then ran it through my machine to get this cool look. I started with PTI vintage cream card stock and left the sentiment panels plain for a little contrast. The sentiment is from SU! Ever After and I embossed it in gold. I edged the labels eighteen dies with a Marvy Deco gold paint pen, and did the outside edges of the card base too. The bow was made with my bow-easy, and the flowers w/pearls came from Walmart. Sorry for the wonky-colored photo, but this looks so much better IRL. It's very dreary today and artificial light just doesn't work very well for me :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny day :)

Carol, this is beyond gorgeous. Such Class! I love that embossing folder and especially with the Antique Linen color. Your edging is perfect, as usual. this card is over the top. The happy couple's day will certainly be brighter and happier when they receiv this card.

Oh my..l...so elegant and simply gorgeous! Love the way you used the antique linen on the embossing folder and outlined the nestie in the gold. I thought this idea came from Donna, but she just informed me it came from you!! Fabulous card!Lynn
